Every time I go to a store like Wal Mart or Target, I see the Thunder Cats Armor of Omens figure for sale. The thing I noticed about the figure was it was covered head to toe with gold plastic. You guys think GPS will make this thing worth alot in the future?

Haven't been in a Walmart for about a month, today's the first time to see this guy.
I don't think there will be a problem. The chest shield is made of vacuumized-metal for the real shiney gold, that could flake.
The figure itself looks like it was cast in black plastic and was painted over with gold paint.

The small Lion-O figure does look like it was cast in gold plastic though, he could become a problem.

GPS is a thing of the past. That type of meterial hasn't been used since the days of G2.

Chrome flaking could certainly happen still, but certainly not GPS.
